Installation

Important safety instructions

Installation, repair and maintenance work
should be by a Miele authorized service
technician. Work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and may void the war-
ranty.
Pay careful attention to the enclosed in-
stallation instructions and the installation
diagram.
Do not install the dryer in a room where
there is danger of frost.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation
for operation in the room where it is in-
stalled.
Ensure that the air being drawn into the
machine is fresh and that it does not
contain chlorine, fluoride or solvent fumes.
Machines heated by electricity must not
be installed in the same room as dry
cleaning machines using solvents containing
CFCs. Escaping fumes will break down into
hydrochloric acid if ignited. This will damage
the machine.
If installed in an adjacent room there
must be no exchange of air between
them.
The central air inlet and the area around
the dryer must be kept free from lint par-
ticles, to prevent machine damage.

The exhaust must not be led into a chim-
ney used by another gas, coal or oil
heated appliance. The warm humid air
should be directed by the shortest route into
the open air or into a suitable venting duct.
The duct must be so designed and installed
to accommodate the high throughput of air
(few bends, as short a duct as possible, well
shaped and leakproof joints).
No filters or louvres should be built into
the exhaust duct.
The connection between the exhaust
ducting and the exhaust connection on
the dryer must be airtight.
Where the exhaust is ducted directly into
the open air, the end of the duct should
be protected against the weather, ideally by
a downward angle of 90°.
To facilitate cleaning of the duct, clean-
ing flaps or covers should be fitted on
the bends wherever possible.
With upward sloping exhaust ducting a
condensate drain must be made at the
lowest point.
The dryer is fitted with an exhaust fan
which can be heard during operation.
The noise level of the fan can be reduced by
fitting a muffler to the dryer vent stub (avail-
able from Miele's Technical Service Depart-
ment).
The minimum dimensions and distance
required from the wall, as shown in the
installation diagram, must be observed to al-
low service to be performed.
